Say a little prayer

"Dear Lord;
Thank you for each day the sun shines. Thank you for each cloud that pours rain. Thank you for the tiny hands, that hold my heart so tight.
Thank you for their beaming smiles, brighter than any sun could shine.
And thank you for the strength you give me to dry their raining eyes.
Not a moment can pass, that I don't love my children.
Thank you Lord, for giving them to me.
I never knew what strength and love this heart was composed of, until you opened it up there in my arms to show me.
Thank you Lord for each and every breath they take, and joke they make.
Thank you for my children Lord.
You've shown me just what strength is. Being a Mother is more than I ever could have known.
It is the most wonderful, the most painful, the most stressful, the most loving, the most sleepless and I wouldn't Ever change it for anything.
I pray Dear Lord, please don't ever shake me so, by taking them away. They are my strength, and without my children, I am weak, and I am nothing.
I fear for them, and I fear for me. I don't want to live where I have to close my eyes to see their smiles.
Please Lord, keep them strong, keep them healthy, keep them safe, keep them here with me always."


*Seeing a photo of a friends Niece who just went through brain surgery breaks my heart, and makes me realize, I pray I never have to find out if I am strong enough to survive through something like that happening to my children. I pray I never know what it is like to not be able to peak in on them asleep in their beds. Or to peek in and see tubes coming out every which way.
I know you rise to any obstacle to be strong for your kids.
But there isn't a parent alive (or otherwise) that should ever wish to see their children going through something like that.
that's why I wrote that. And on that note also:

"Dear God, Please be with my friend and her family as they are going through one of the most difficult things there is in this life.
Please keep their spirits high, and show them your love and healing power in ways they did not know possible.
No parent should have to see their child suffering. Please take away that little girls pain, and put that beautiful smile back on her face.
I do not know her, or her mother, but please let them feel my love, and please let it heal them."
